Junio hasn't pulled those version numbering fixes from me yet. Because I haven't asked him to pull in a while. That explains that. There's no Perl involved in git-gui, except for the Perl in an underlying Git command it might invoke. So perhaps you were talking about Tcl above? Anyway, you can setup a build with the most recent 'stable development' version of git-gui: git checkout -b with-new-gitgui git pull -s subtree git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git That's really all Junio does. Although I think he does actually try to test it briefly before pushing a final release out to the public. Just to make sure Git hasn't broken anything really obvious in git-gui. ;-) -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
